Adjust Payroll Commitments Ad Hoc (CAN, USA)

Adjust Payroll Commitments Ad Hoc (CAN, USA)

  • Create initial payroll commitments.
  • Configure the
    Create Initial Payroll Commitments
     business process and security policy in the Core Payroll functional area.
You can adjust payroll commitments on an ad hoc basis when you:
  • Don't want to add the
    Check Budget
     step on staffing or payroll business processes.
  • Have processes that you've rescinded or corrected.
  • Make an adjustment for the last fiscal year while running current commitments.
  • Make a mass change.
The
Create Payroll Commitment Adjustments
 business process doesn't perform budget checks; it only updates commitments and obligations.
  1. Access the
    Create Payroll Commitment Adjustments
     task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    All Positions for All Completed Business Processes
    Select to include all positions from all business processes that impact commitment accounting since the last commitment adjustment or from the initial commitment run of the fiscal year.
    Completed On/After
    Completed Prior To/On
    Specify the date range of an event that has an effective date within the fiscal year, for which Workday calculates adjustments.
    Business Processes
    Select a business process that is based on position, such as:
    • Add Additional Job.
    • Assign Costing Allocation.
    • Assign Pay Group.
    If you don't select a business process, the task runs on all supported business processes.
    Rescinded/Corrected Business Processes Only
    Select to increase performance by restricting the subset of events.
    Positions
    Select to run commitment adjustments on specific positions.
    All Positions
    Select to run commitment adjustments on all positions.
    To include any positions retroactively closed or vacated on or before the fiscal year start date, run a commitment adjustment on
    All Positions
     within 60 days of creating initial commitments for the fiscal year.
  3. (Optional) Click
    Schedule Adjustments
     to open the
    Payroll Commitment Adjustment Scheduler
     task and configure commitment adjustments to run on a set schedule.
When you run the
Create Payroll Commitment Adjustment
 business process, Workday recalculates all pay periods not yet liquidated as well as in-progress payroll periods for the fiscal year.
If the reviewer sends back the initial commitments, resubmit either
Calculate Payroll and Fringe Benefits Initial Commitments
 or
Fringe Benefits and Initial Commitments ONLY
 from the task in My Tasks.
